Managing an e-commerce business is challenging, especially for small to mid-sized firms. Apart from overseeing day-to-day operations, it becomes extremely tough to manage your digital store regularly as well. From updating your online store with new products, price changes, upcoming promotions, handling shipping, and providing client support, you can’t do it all on your own.
As a business owner, it’s best to dedicate your time to the primary tasks you do best – growing your company and achieving goals. You can outsource secondary tasks of routine nature to the virtual e-commerce assistants who can operate your website, allowing you to focus your efforts on your business’s strategic viewpoints to increase sales and revenues. The following are some of the top e-commerce tasks you can delegate to your virtual assistant:
Ordering Products
An efficient e-commerce store is one that keeps its inventory full, so whenever an order is received, they are ready to ship the product to their customers at all times. Virtual assistants VAs can help keep your shelves stocked and maintain your inventory by collaborating with your suppliers, transport stock to and from your warehouse, work on your invoices, and more.
Managing Inventory
Hiring a remote worker who is highly skilled in inventory control is a huge plus for your online business. They will keep track of your stock, update your website to notify of available supply, and how much is present in the warehouse. Apart from that, your VA will also inform you when you must add to your current inventory.
Managing Exchanges/Returns
Exchanges and returns are essential features of any e-commerce setup. You will have to deal with product exchanges/returns from your clients as per your policy. This is quite a tedious task to perform on a regular basis; the good thing is that you can take the help of a virtual assistant to accomplish such tasks for you.
Your VA will communicate with your customers and suppliers via phone calls or emails to see through the successful refunding, product exchange, or return process.
Updating Website
Managing an e-commerce store takes a significant amount of time and effort to run it efficiently. Remote personal assistants with the right knowledge and experience will ensure your clients’ best possible experience, leaving no room for errors. They will also ensure your site is up to date and fully optimized to provide a seamless shopping experience for your clients.
Processing Orders
Order processing consists of taking care of all matters related to product shipments and invoices after making the particular order entries. It’s a tedious process that can take a lot of time out of your schedule. Your VA can help you compile your orders, start processing, forward the client invoices to the firm’s shipping company along with additional administrative tasks.
Supporting Clients
Much of your e-commerce store’s success depends on satisfying your clients on all fronts. Carrying out customer support is a time-consuming task that’s best left to someone who can regularly address client queries via phone calls, live chats, and social media channels.
A virtual assistant will make prompt responses to your clients’ queries, help to diffuse dissatisfied customers, manage lost shipments, and more in a professional manner.
